Classification of kilim rugs under HS 5702.10
Kilim rugs are classified under HS code 5702.10. Chapter 57 covers carpets and other textile floor coverings. Heading 5702 specifically addresses carpets that are woven but not tufted or flocked. The subheading 5702.10 is a specialized category for \"Kelem, Schumacks, Karamanie and similar hand-woven rugs.\" These are flat-woven rugs characterized by their lack of pile, distinguishing them from traditional knotted carpets. The classification is determined by the manufacturing technique (weaving) and the specific traditional style of the rug. Unlike knotted carpets (5701), Kilims are produced by interweaving the warp and weft threads to create a flat surface, often resulting in a reversible product. The \"made up\" status, which refers to the rug having finished edges, fringes, or being hemmed, does not change this classification. These rugs are often made of wool or fine animal hair, but the 5702.10 subheading takes precedence regardless of the textile material because of the specific weaving technique mentioned in the HS nomenclature. This ensures that these culturally specific hand-woven items are tracked accurately in international trade.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
